Materials Cloud

Materials Cloud is a web platform conceived to assist Materials Scientists

A platform for open science with educational, research, and archiving tools, simulation software and services, curated and raw data.

Scientific Highlights

  • Machine learning helps study the behavior of hydrogen in thin alumina films

  • Improved modelling of the Pockels effect may help advanced optoelectronic technology

  • Extending time-dependent density-functional theory to study magnetic excitations in transition-metal compounds

  • AiiDA helps automating calculations for muon spectroscopy

Feature Stories

  • The search for topological materials in MARVEL: a joint effort of theory and experiment

  • The story of Jacutingaite: how a wonder material went from the mine to theory, crystal growth and experiments

  • Can quantum computers be the key to more natural and efficient modelling of materials?

  • MARVEL and CSCS: a partnership built for exa-scale computing in materials science
